You'll get used to the no-color system, as you will get to know the
people instead of the belts.

Is there a lot of disparity between grades in different organisations?

Can be. Although major organizations try to establish ranking criteria, it remains very subjective, particularly in the kyu grades and lower dan grades. The instructors can take much latitude, and in an non-affiliated dojo, latitude is all they
can take.

Most will say it is "borrowed" from judo.
